AREVALO, Carla. Time and income poverty in Argentina. Trab. soc. [online]. 2018, n.31, pp.393-415. ISSN 1514-6871.

This study incorporates a temporal dimension into poverty measurement using the LIMTIP methodology on data from the Unpaid Work and Time Use Survey collected by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC) in 2013. This innovation allows identifying both people with insufficient income to achieve a minimum level of well-being, as well as those with long working hours and / or with a high intensity of domestic work that affects their well-being. It is a methodology that aims to generate useful results for orientating courses of action that harmonize labor market, demographic structure of households and social policies with a gender perspective. Among the most important findings we can mention that LIMTIP affects men and women at very similar levels, In addition, the gender of the household head is not a determinant of poverty LIMTIP. Therefore, the evidence suggests that poverty that affects women or households led by them has different drivers beyond their gender.
